the JETS rock! i do have some vinyl lingering in the basement. i should dig it up and see what i have. i know i have some poison, village people, some other goodies.

the next outlander is acquiring a third row as well, it should be about the same size as the RAV 4.

the equinox's cargo area is useless/small. one stroller/large duffel and there's nothing left for anything else.

:angry: 2008?

the front wheel drive manual transmission Aerio is quite fast. its a bit noisy, but it handles very well and the interior is quite pleasant aside from the not easily accomodating taller folks. its starting to get dated though. fun car.

boy will there be celebrating around here when said car hits market.

i like hud....like ohc motors, if GM offered it on more cars i think more folks would like it and start looking for it.

the insight does indeed deliver its advertised mileage.

well, the equinox just got killed and made useless. otherwise, the bloated vibe styling is a C. Not an A. the interior looks pleasant although the mits eclipse dash is not flattering here. overall, i think this thing is probably a class topper tho. its a shame the new Grand Vitara didn't have this much motor because it has a nice interior. the escape is dated.

hope y'all can prove it "Your mileage will vary"

i hope these pompous bastards have the ability to back up these numbers if a lawsuit is filed against them to prove their numbers.

can i have a bite too? awesome post, man!

Flint's article (another topic) from today cuts directly to the chase our industry is facing with regards to health care etc. everyone in America needs to read that article.

letme clarify...i did not mean 'fair' article. i guess i was surprised it was not a much more liberal viewpoint. it was a liberal viewpoint, but the strib is usually clueless x 10 on most topics. here they are just mildly clueless.

the evidence is not there to suggest the civic has any extraordinary aspect of performance, user accomodations, space, style, etc.....over its competition. again FOTM not COTY. Honda's been writing big checks.

probably at the dealer getting some serivce work done

i just read that in the paper at lunch at BK chowing on a whopper........a surprisingly fair article from the strib, although i do not like the assumed claim they make of other countries having superior health care setups.

this is absurd. wagoner should be let go now, with no pension.

or a nice Kia Amanti with a minidisc player in dash

millen should have been gone. mooch should stay. show harrington the door too.

to me the VW and Saab turbos or subie turbo and the GM ecotec supercharged are a better solution if you are trying to pump hp out of only 2.0 litres. or, increase the displacement to 2.4 or 2.5 litres and get some grunt. i mean, if i bought a civic and was only getting 19.7 mpg with it (Road and Track) i wouldn't be calling it any kind of economy car. in fact, not even cracking 20 mpg is quite piss poor for a car that's under 3000 pounds with a stick. even the ecoweenies would agree on that point. but who knows, maybe that's all the cobalt gets too. thing is, the cobalt cracks 6 seconds from zero and its 5-60 time is not too much higher than that. the civic did 6.8 for R/T and honda's own clock says 7.3. my guess is the 5-60 time C/D will achieve is around 7.8 seconds. that's not very quick. and there's no fuel efficiency or space benefit. and, its not exactly a classy looking car. i.e. it only has appeal to gen Yers and punks without licenses. the dashboard itself is atrocious. that don't spell COTY to me. more like FLAVOR OF THE MONTH.

"Hybrids don't only appeal to greenies, they appeal to a lot of normal consumers who don't want to go to the gas station as much, and maybe save a few dimes in the process." save a few dimes on GAS. but spend another 150 bucks a month more on car payments? that makes wonderful sense. "Of course let's not argue about the economical aspecs of a hybrid, since that's already been covered a million times" you can't brush that aside, that's the CORE OF THE ARGUMENT. the current cost/benefit of a hybrid is NEGATIVE. "And 197hp at the brake hub, out of a 2.0L n/a engine." without any torque, don't forget to mention that.

need....sleep.....

:blink: i hate the 3 downs thing too. but i am curious why its still yards and not metric.

a coworker has one,she likes it except they had to replace the CVT.
